There’s something so exciting about Memorial Day Weekend. It’s the unofficial start to summer and everyone is full of so much energy, optimism and joy. We’re spending out holiday weekend in Seattle with close friends and their two little boys and I can’t wait to see them! Here are a few pieces that I’m loving for the long weekend (more thoughts after the jump).

I can’t believe our Italian honeymoon is coming to a close! It’s been a whirlwind of delicious cuisine, breathtaking sights and crazy adventures, but there are also a lot of things I miss about home: our puppy, the comfort of our bed, cold-pressed juice and Thai food delivery. Today, we’re hopping on an eight-hour flight back to NYC and I’m bringing all the essentials: a cozy scarf to keep warm, headphones to finish the docuseries The Jynx and an eyemask for optimal snoozing and minimal jet lag. Arreviderci friends…. I’ll see you back in the States!
